They cover nautical fiction set between 1740, the start of Commodore
Anson's circumnavigation, and 1815, the year of the final defeat of
Napoleon at Waterloo.
Their purpose is to give all lovers of naval fiction a quick
reference to the fiction written about the navies of the Revolutionary
and Napoleonic Wars. The site also includes information on the events that formed a back drop to the
adventures of Aubrey, Hornblower, Bolitho, Ramage and the rest of the
gang.

The Men of the Merchant Service
"The Men of the Merchant Service" written by Frank T. Bullen in 1901 is a guide to the British Merchant Navy of the late Victorian period aimed at parents who had sons who wished to go to sea. It is
now quite (make that very) rare and I thought it worth getting a copy on to the Internet.
